The Balding Barber
The Balding Barber asked the Bored Daredevil, “What makes you tick?” while cutting his locks.
The Bored Daredevil asked the Disorganized Secretary, “How do you keep it together?” while jumping off a big box.
The Disorganized Secretary asked the Orphaned Foster Mother, “Who looks after you?” while taking down notes.
The Orphaned Foster Mother asked the Practical Gambler, “How does it all add up?” while picking up coats.
The Practical Gambler asked the Philosophical Gardener, “For what are you digging?” while weighing the odds.
The Philosophical Gardener asked the Shy Disc Jockey, “To whom are you speaking?” while pondering gods.
The Shy Disc Jockey asked the Clueless Detective, “Who did this to us?” while spinning some tunes.
The Clueless Detective asked the Crippled Gym Coach, “How do we recover?” while deciphering runes.
The Crippled Gym Coach asked the Lethargic Barista, “How do we wake up?” while blowing his whistle.
The Lethargic Barista asked the Traumatized Shrink, “What’s at the root?” while avoiding dismissal.
The Traumatized Shrink asked the Homely Fahionista, “What makes it hang together?” while considering feelings.
The Homely Fashionista asked the Frigid Stripper, “What do they all want?” while smashing glass ceilings.
The Frigid Stripper asked the Skinny Butcher, “Where does it come from?” while shaking her thing.
The Skinny Butcher asked the Childless Nanny, “How did you learn?” while tying a package with string.
The Childless Nanny asked the Lonely PR Man, “Does anyone know?” while changing diapers.
The Lonely PR Man asked the Unprincipled Judge, “How can you decide?” while paying the pipers.
The Unprincipled Judge asked the Small Town Pilot, “How far must we go?” while banging his gavel.

The Sober Bartender asked the Rebellious Cop, “What makes you take heed?” while filling a glass.

And the Balding Barber said to one and all, “I simply fill the need, and there’s no more to ask.”
